The Story

Launched in 2016 by Atelier Cologne, Bergamote Soleil is a citrus aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of a bright morning with sun-kissed freshness. The composition opens with Calabrian bergamot and bitter orange, creating an invigorating burst of light citrus notes. This vibrant opening leads to a heart of lavender and Guatemalan cardamom, adding a fresh spicy touch. The base notes of Haitian vetiver and oakmoss ground the fragrance, offering an earthy and woody finish that contrasts beautifully with its bright top notes.

Application Tips

For best results, apply Bergamote Soleil in light layers. The citrus top notes are bright but can fade quickly within an hour, so a second application midday will help maintain its vibrant freshness throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want to feel energized and fresh.

Ralf Schwieger portrait

Ralf Schwieger once took part in a perfume contest that Frédéric Malle had staged for young perfumers. Frédéric sampled their perfumes one by one, blindfolded, until he reached Ralph’s sketch of what was to become Lipstick Rose, and Ralf was chosen to join Editions de Parfums. Having spent his childhood in Germany exploring forests and absorbing all of their unusual smells, Ralf is prone to creating perfumes with unexpected personalities. He describes his attitude to perfume making as a game in two parts, whose first is intellectual or conceptual, and whose second is a lengthier one of sensory research. His perfumes, as a result, are both cerebral and intuitive.
